Detailed Description

A QDBusPendingCall object is a reference to a method call that was sent over D-Bus without waiting for a reply. QDBusPendingCall is an opaque type, meant to be used as a handle for a pending reply.

In most programs, the QDBusPendingCall class will not be used directly. It can be safely replaced with the template-based QDBusPendingReply , in order to access the contents of the reply or wait for it to be complete.

The QDBusPendingCallWatcher class allows one to connect to a signal that will indicate when the reply has arrived or if the call has timed out. It also provides the waitForFinished() method which will suspend the execution of the program until the reply has arrived.

Note

If you create a copy of a QDBusPendingCall object, all information will be shared among the many copies. Therefore, QDBusPendingCall is an explicitly-shared object and does not provide a method of detaching the copies (since they refer to the same pending call)

__init__(other)
Parameters:

otherQDBusPendingCall

Creates a copy of the other pending asynchronous call. Note that both objects will refer to the same pending call.

error()
Return type:

QDBusError

static fromCompletedCall(message)
Parameters:

messageQDBusMessage

Return type:

QDBusPendingCall

Creates a QDBusPendingCall object based on the message msg. The message must be of type ErrorMessage or ReplyMessage (that is, a message that is typical of a completed call).

This function is useful for code that requires simulating a pending call, but that has already finished.

fromError()

static fromError(error)
Parameters:

errorQDBusError

Return type:

QDBusPendingCall

Creates a QDBusPendingCall object based on the error condition error. The resulting pending call object will be in the “finished” state and QDBusPendingReply <Types…>::isError() will return true.

isError()
Return type:

bool

isFinished()
Return type:

bool

isValid()
Return type:

bool

reply()
Return type:

QDBusMessage

swap(other)
Parameters:

otherQDBusPendingCall

Swaps this pending call instance with other. This function is very fast and never fails.
